RANGE.

SPECIFICATION formingpart of Letters Patent No. 235,100, dated December '7, 1880.

Application filed September 30, 1880. (No model.) Patented in Canada October 4, 1880.

To all whom it may concern Be itknown that I, GEORGE ROGER PRowsE, of the city of Montreal, District of Montreal, Province of Quebec, Canada, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Cooking-Ranges and I do hereby declare that the following is afull, clear, and exact description of the same. 7

This invention has reference to the con 10 struction of a cooking-range so arranged that in the uptake or fines there will be a chamber formed for the reception of a hood for broilin g hinged to the sides of the said chamber, so that said hood may at pleasure be :5 turned to lie over the fire, or to be put awayin the said chamber. Thus a suitable receptacle is formed for keeping the hood in, and the hood itself becomes a part of the range, and the question of where to put it when hot and dirty, and no longer required, is solved. A ready means of bringing it out for use and stowing away when done with is provided.

In the drawings hereunto annexed similar letters of reference indicate like parts.

Figure 1 is an end elevation of the range with hood down over the fire-place. Fig. 2 is a front elevation of range with hood up and doors of chamber closed. Fig3 is afront elevation of chamber with doors removed, and 0 showing position of hood turned up therein. Fig. 4 is a plan of part of the top plate of range with hood turned down thereon. Fig. 5 is a front elevation of hood turned down.

A is the top plate of the range, which is of 5 ordinary construction, as is the whole range situated below the top plate.

As shown in the drawings, the range has one fire and an oven on each side of it; but it will be readily understood that the invention may be arranged as described with ranges having any number of fires and ovens.

B indicates the position of the fire, and C the ovens. D D are two fines formed in the uptake, one from each oven. These meet 5 above, as indicated at E.

The space between the flues D D will be made somewhat wider than the opening in the plate A over the fire-place, and will be provided with doors F, hinged, as shown, to the fines D D.

G is a projection or enlargement of the chamber H, (which chamber is situated immediately behind the doors F,) to render the same deep enough to hold the hood. I would here remark that this extension C may in some cases not be required, as this depends upon the thickness of fines and the height of hood desired.

I is a shelf formed on the top of the chamber H and flues D D. This shelf not only gives a nice finish at the top of the stove, but also furnishes a place on which dishes of food or plates may be kept warm, as in other ranges.

Kis the hood, which consists of a bottom frame, a, provided with pivots a, which enter into the sides of the tines D D at the position shown.

0 is the top of the hood. This does not extend the entire length of the top, but leaves a space, 0, uncovered at the front end.

dis a swingingcover, pivoted at e to the sides I). As shown in Figs. 4 and 5, this swinging cover is shown down, while in Figs.

1 and3 it is shown up.

f is a gridiron, having its bars 9 extended and arranged to form guides for the gridiron to slide back and forward upon the frame a. This gridiron is, as shown, somewhat shorter than the hood K, so that the handle it may fall within its length, and not prevent it from being contained within the hood.

\Vhen the hood is required for use in broiling, &c., the cover over the fire in the plate A is removed, and the doors F are opened, the 8 5 hood turned down, and the gridiron is drawn forward, as shown in Fig. l.

The food to be cooked is placed on the gridiron, and when desired the swinging cover 01 is turned down, leaving only a small uncovo ered space, so that any draft must be inward, and thus prevent the fumes and smell from escaping.

What I claim as my invention is as follows: 5

1. The chamber H, formed as described, in

combination with a hood, K, pivoted thereto, I ing cover d, the whole arranged in connecand having gridiron f, the whole arranged in I tion with the fire-place substantially as deconnection with the fire-place substantially scribed.

as described. GEO. R. PROWSE.

2. The chamber 1], constructed and ar- Witnesses: ranged as described, in combination with the CHARLES G. O. SIMPSON, hood K, provided with gridiron f and swim A. DUFFY.
